Each brownie has a thick layer of white whipped cream on top, which looks soft and smooth. On the whipped cream layer, there are fresh, bright red strawberry slices and round, deep blue blueberries arranged neatly. Some blueberries are scattered around the brownies on the surface, along with two long, thin, dark brown vanilla pods crossing each other near the bottom right. In the top left corner, a white bowl with a blue rim contains more whipped cream. The overall look is colorful with the dark brownies, white cream, and fresh fruit on a clean white marbled background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup almond meal/flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/3 cup coconut sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

3.2 oz dark chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled

1/4 cup agave or maple syrup
2 large eggs + 1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (e.g., Enjoy Life brand)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat, 2%, or whole)
Seeds from 1 vanilla bean

1 teaspoon agave, honey, or maple syrup
Sliced strawberries
Blueberries

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350℉. Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with foil and spray with coconut oil. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2: Place chopped dark chocolate in a small bowl and melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth (about 1 to 1½ minutes). Set aside.
Step 3: In another medium bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, and coconut sugar until fully combined. Add vanilla extract and agave syrup, whisk again. Stir the melted coconut oil into the melted chocolate, then add this to the egg mixture and whisk to combine thoroughly.

Step 4: Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5: While brownies bake, prepare the topping by whisking together Greek yogurt, vanilla bean seeds, and agave (or honey/maple syrup) in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. Once brownies have cooled completely, cut into 16 squares, top each with a dollop of the vanilla bean yogurt, and decorate with sliced strawberries and blueberries.

Tips & Variations

Use dairy-free or plant-based yogurt to make the topping vegan-friendly while keeping the gluten-free aspect.

Substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar or maple sugar if preferred.
Try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the brownie batter for extra texture.
For a more intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.

Storage

Store the brownie bites with yogurt topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best texture, keep the brownies and yogurt topping separate until serving. You can reheat brownies briefly in the microwave, but add fresh yogurt and berries after warming to maintain freshness.

How to Serve

Fresh strawberries and scattered blueberries lie around the brownies, adding bright red and blue colors to the scene. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?

Yes, but the texture and gluten-free aspect will change. Almond flour gives these brownies a moist, tender crumb. If you use regular flour, consider adjusting the liquid ingredients slightly.

How do I know when the brownies are done baking?

The top will be set, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy.
